Authentic Muay Thai Classes
At Commando Temple, we teach Muay Thai as it was meant to be — an art of eight limbs that demands technique, discipline and respect.
Our head coach has fought and trained in Thailand, so he teaches the art of Muay Thai authentically, though without all the ceremony and feathers, etc.
This isn’t cardio kickboxing. It’s Muay Thai with: Punches, Elbows, Knees, Kicks, Clinch control and defence
You’ll learn proper footwork, combinations, fight IQ, and the mental toughness Muay Thai is famous for. From the first session, you’ll be building not just fitness, but fighting skill and self-mastery.

Whether you’re stepping into martial arts for the first time or levelling up your skills, we meet you where you are — and show you the way forward.
- Fundamentals: Learn correct stance, footwork, guard, basic strikes and combinations.
- Skill Building: Develop timing, movement, defensive techniques, counter-attacks and clinch work.
- Advanced: Sparring drills, advanced combinations, tactical strategies for competitive fighting.
With structured, skill-driven coaching, we turn effort into visible progress.
You’ll always know where you are — and where you’re going.
